Asian Coleslaw Recipe

Asian Coleslaw

Asian Coleslaw Notes

This recipe was used by Chef Kevin Bozis and Chef Jennifer "JR" Statz for a Stirring Things Up in Chicago Event at the Old Town shop in June 2005.

Patty and Tom Erd spoke about ethnic Chicago spices and blends, and the guests were served five different ethnic dishes. Asian Coleslaw was served with the Chinese 5 Spice Marinated Pork Satay. This dish represents the cuisine of Chinatown.

Preparation Instructions

Place cabbage and apple in a large bowl. Add the vinegar, cilantro, sesame oil, ground ginger, pickled ginger, soy sauce, crused red pepper, celery salt, and green onion. Toss well, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and chill at least 1 hour, and up to 3 hours. Drain off excess liquid to keep cabbage crisp.

Helpful Hints

This recipe can easily be cut in half, for smaller serving sizes.

I also have confession. I always sneak in (add) 1 tsp of sugar to the recipe.
Not enough to even taste; however it cuts/counterbalances the rice wine vinegar.
